How we worked this out
  • Rates and thresholds for Victoria as published by its revenue office (source). Duty is charged per $100 or part, so the real figure can differ by a few dollars.
  • First home buyer exemptions and concessions have conditions: usually living in the home within 12 months for at least 12 months, and neither buyer having owned property before.
  • For land, some states apply thresholds to the land value only. For off-the-plan purchases duty may be lower; ask us.
  • Victoria's first home buyer sliding scale between $600,000 and $750,000, and the NSW concession between $800,000 and $1 million, are estimated from the published phase-out ranges.
  • Foreign purchaser surcharges, land tax and the ACT's eligibility rules aren't included. Registration and mortgage fees are extra.
